GOOGLE THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT

What do you guys think of tea.xyz ?

After 20 years, PNG 3.0 is here. It brings HDR, APNG and Exif support for higher image quality and greater versatility.

Whoa.

AMD Research has unveiled a cutting-edge method for generating procedural, fully customizable tree geometry - running entirely on GPU using work graphs and mesh nodes. Over 150 parameters control everything from structure to seasonal changes, pruning, wind response, animation, and real-time edits.

Performance:
• 3.13ms per frame (RX 7900 XTX)
• Geometry size reduced from 34.8GB to 51KB per frame
• Continuous LOD like UE5’s Nanite, targeting stable 120 FPS
• Work graph uses up to 1.5GB scratch buffer (varies by GPU)

First IPC, then CIPC, then StiffGIPC, and now OGC: the University of Utah and NVIDIA have finally created a model for guaranteeing “penetration-free simulation of codimensional objects with minimal computational overhead”. Basically this means we can now accurately and efficiently simulate complex, real-world interactions with things like clothing and fabric.

“If you’re an electrician, you’re a plumber, a carpenter—we’re going to need hundreds of thousands of them to build all of these factories,” Huang told Channel 4 News in the U.K.

A 7M-parameter model loops over its own thoughts and ends up reasoning like the big guys. Simple recursion, wild results

A core reason for rewriting projects that have worked reliably for 20+ years in Rust seems to be giving developers the fun of fixing brand-new bugs.

In Ubuntu 25.10, unattended upgrades are broken due to a bug in the Rust reimplementation of GNU Coreutils. The only way to update is manually via apt update && apt upgrade.

I don't know who needs to hear this but if you have a PS5 lying around that hasn't been recently updated, you can now play pirated games run homebrews on it pretty easily:

I can’t stop laughing about this. Send help pls

One of the most complete and open breakdowns of how large language models are trained, covering scaling challenges, ablations, infrastructure design, GPU efficiency, and post-training pipelines.

Running the Linux kernel directly in your browser - without an emulator - is now a thing. Patches have been published that allow the kernel to be compiled straight into WebAssembly.

So how did the developers get around Wasm's inability to suspend tasks? They just spin up a new dedicated "CPU" (an actual Web Worker) for every single process and let the host OS do all the scheduling.

Turns out if you starve a transformer of weights, it starts revealing its secrets.
And those secrets? Clean, tiny, human-readable circuits.

Soooo... They cracked the PS5.
